About The Dining Club Group

The Dining Club are the world’s largest dining club scheme, comprising of the three leading dining discount card schemes in the UK and Ireland: tastecard, Gourmet Society and hi-life.

All three brands were initially launched to support restaurants by encouraging people to dine out more often, and to help members by making dining out more affordable. In times of economic uncertainty, this gives members an opportunity to save money without compromising on their lifestyles, while keeping the restaurants in business.

The Dining Club now has more than four million members, with more than 10,000 participating restaurants across their three brands. Dining Club members currently spend in excess of £600 million annually in participating restaurants.

Based in the centre of Manchester, the company continues to enrich the economy by offering companies a way of providing their employees and customers with engaging benefits and rewards, with very little administrative burden.
